Introduction

Beame-Gatekeeper and Beame-Authenticator

In this project we will provide detailed instructions how to set up beame-gatekeeper, and motion eye to turn your Raspberry Pi into a real web cam, with motion detection capabilities, and real secure remote access. This is a beginner project, and in about 20 minutes, you will be rewarded with functioning remote viewing through encrypted & authenticated channel, for potentially several cameras.

The economics of this project are beautiful, Raspberry Pi - ~40$, WebCam - ~20, Gatekeeper - free. From functionality standpoint, you end up with a product that is probably in the ~$200 - ~$300 range.

To get started you will need to unpack your Raspberry, and connect it to the network, using either the Wi-Fi, or Ethernet.

Configuration

Towards the end of the output beame-gatekeeper-install
command of you will see a URL (after "Please use the URL below to configure/administer beame-gatekeeper"). Use this URL to access Beame-Gatekeeper administration interface.

If you need this URL later, please run: beame-gatekeeper-ctl admin
